# What is Fluttercube? Fluttercube is a streaming platform for AI-generated films, series, and shorts. This guide is for anyone opening it for the first time: it explains what a viewer can do, what changes when you become a creator, what costs nothing, and the three places you can start. By the end you know which starting point fits you and which guide to read next. ## One account, two roles Every Fluttercube account is the same kind of account. You sign up once, start as a viewer, and can apply to become a creator later from inside the app. There is no account type to pick at sign-up. Your current role shows as a badge next to the **Profile** heading under **Account**: **Viewer** or **Creator**. The role changes one thing: creators get the Creator Hub (the dashboard at `/dashboard`) on top of everything a viewer has. ## Watching You can watch without an account. Home opens on a hero with a search box and a **Start Watching** button, then groups the catalog into rows such as **Featured**, **Staff Picks**, **Trending**, and **New Releases**. [[img:what-is-fluttercube/01-home.png|Home for a visitor: the hero with its search box and Start Watching button, then the catalog rows, starting with Featured.]] **Browse** lists the whole catalog with a search box, a **Sort** menu, and a **Filters** rail for **Category**, **Genre**, and **AI Tool**. [[img:what-is-fluttercube/02-browse.png|Browse: the search box and Sort at the top, the Filters rail on the left, and the catalog grid.]] Every film has a watch page: the player on top, the title, creator row and action bar below it, then the **AI Origin** block that names the **Primary tool** and any **Post-production** tools the creator disclosed. Once you start the film, **Notes on the timeline** appears under it: comments pinned to a moment in the film. Further down sit the **Comments** tab and, when the film has them, **Extras** and **Related**. Signing in unlocks the actions around the player: **Like**, **Add to watchlist**, **Follow**, **Tip**, **Support**, and comments. It also adds **My Feed** to the header, with **Following**, **Watchlist**, and **History** tabs; once you follow creators and watch films, the Following tab fills and Home adds **Continue Watching** and **For You** rows. ## Creating A signed-in viewer sees a ribbon at the bottom of Home: **Create with AI? Publish on Fluttercube!** Click **Start Creating** and your account becomes a creator account. The Creator Hub sidebar lists **Dashboard**, **Content Library**, **Analytics**, and **Wallet**, plus **Public Profile** and a link back to **Account**. A new creator can upload up to three drafts but cannot publish yet. Publishing unlocks after verification, which you request with **Apply for verification** from the dashboard banner. The application asks for at least one uploaded video (a draft counts), a short creative-vision statement, the AI tools you use, and your agreement to the creator terms. [[img:what-is-fluttercube/03-creator-dashboard.png|The Creator Hub Dashboard of a verified creator: the sidebar on the left, the four channel tiles, Recent activity, the Earnings card, and the upload drop zone.]] Verified creators publish films, group them into series, read analytics per film, and receive tips and monthly Support in their wallet. Payouts go out monthly to a connected Stripe account. ## What is free - Watching is free, at full quality, with no subscription. - Accounts are free, for viewers and creators alike. - Creator verification is free. - Tips (from €2) and monthly Support (from €3 per month) are optional. After the card processing fee, 90% goes to the creator and 10% to the platform. Support is recognition only: nothing is locked behind it. The one thing that needs an account before you can watch is a title marked **16+**. You sign in and confirm your date of birth once; the answer is reused for every 16+ title. ## Where to start 1. Browse the catalog at [/browse](/browse). No account needed. Pick a film, and try the comments and the timeline discussion once you sign in. 2. Create an account at [/login?view=sign-up](/login?view=sign-up). Email and password, then a confirmation link. Guide: [Create your account and sign in](/docs/create-your-account). 3. Open the Creator Hub at [/dashboard](/dashboard) when you have work to publish. Guide: [Become a creator and get verified](/docs/become-a-creator). After sign-up, [Set up your profile](/docs/set-up-your-profile) gives you a photo, a display name, and a public URL at `/@handle`. ## Good to know - Your account menu is the avatar in the top-right corner. It holds **Account**, **Creator Dashboard** (creators only), and **Log out**; **My Feed** sits in the header itself. - **Account** has five tabs: **Profile**, **Login & Security**, **Privacy & Data**, **Payments & Support**, and **Notifications**. - Analytics are off until you choose **Accept analytics** in the first-visit banner. You can change the choice under **Privacy & Data** at any time. See [Privacy, safety and your account](/docs/privacy-safety-and-your-account). - Every watch page and every comment has a **Report** control. A human moderator reviews every report within 24 hours; nothing is removed automatically. - The footer of every page has a **Contact** form and **Legal**, which opens the **Terms** with **Privacy** and **DMCA** one click away; inside the app it also links to these **Docs**.
